I guess I'll be as brief as I can.
The issue, from our perspective, is one of a technical legal interpretation. We see the amendment as setting up the potential for a bit of an ambiguity in the way the act is working, in that it's a bit of a disconnect--again, from a technical legal perspective--to see something that obligates a commissioner to investigate if he or she is requested to do so by a member, while in another clause it says he or she can refuse.
Simply from a technical perspective, if one is trying to capture the policy principle that the commissioner can receive information from a member of the Senate or House of Commons and take that information into account in determining whether or not to investigate a particular matter, our perspective would be that subsection 10.4(1) as it is currently drafted already enables that. It doesn't do so in an explicit way, but it's certainly implicit in the wording that is there.
